Description
본 발명은 ERRγ 억제제를 유효성분으로 포함하는, 소라페닙에 대한 간암의 내성 억제 및 항암 효과 증진용 약학적 조성물에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for inhibiting liver cancer resistance to sorafenib and enhancing anticancer effect, comprising an ERRγ inhibitor as an active ingredient.
우리나라 국민의 가장 주요한 사망원인 중 하나는 악성신생물(malignant neoplasm, 암)에 의한 것으로, 통계청에서 발표한 사망원인 통계에 의하면 2016년 간암 사망률은 인구 10만 명당 21.5명으로서 폐암 사망률 다음으로 암 사망률 2위를 기록했다(간세포암종 진료 가이드라인, 대한간암학회, 2018).One of the most important causes of death in Korea is malignant neoplasm (cancer). According to statistics on causes of death published by Statistics Korea, the liver cancer death rate in 2016 was 21.5 per 100,000 population, the second highest cancer death rate after lung cancer. It ranked 2nd (Hepatocellular Carcinoma Treatment Guidelines, Korean Liver Cancer Society, 2018).
간암의 근본적 치료는 간절제술로, 간경변증이 없는 간에 국한된 단일 간세포암종 환자에서의 1차 치료법이며(Lang H., Liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma in non-cirrhotic liver without underlying viral hepatitis. Br J Surg. 2005 Feb; 92(2):198-202), 간경변증이 있는 경우에도 잔존 간 기능이 충분하다고 예상되는 경우 우선적으로 고려해볼 수 있으나(Capussotti L, Muratore A, Massucco P, Ferrero A, Polastri R, Bouzari H Major liver resections for hepatocellular carcinoma on cirrhosis: early and long-term outcomes.. Liver Transpl. 2004 Feb;10(2 Suppl 1):S64-8), 초기에 진단받은 30-40%만이 수술적 치료를 할 수 있다.The fundamental treatment for liver cancer is hepatectomy, which is the primary treatment for patients with single hepatocellular carcinoma confined to the liver without cirrhosis (Lang H., Liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma in non-cirrhotic liver without underlying viral hepatitis. Br J Surg . 2005 Feb ; 92(2):198-202), even in the presence of cirrhosis, it can be considered first if the remaining liver function is expected to be sufficient (Capussotti L, Muratore A, Massucco P, Ferrero A, Polastri R, Bouzari H Major Liver resections for hepatocellular carcinoma on cirrhosis: early and long-term outcomes.. Liver Transpl . 2004 Feb;10(2 Suppl 1):S64-8), Only 30-40% of patients diagnosed early can undergo surgical treatment. .
국소림프절, 폐 등의 간 외 전이가 있거나 간혈관 침범이 있는 경우에는 다중 키나아제 저해제(kinase inhibitor)인 소라페닙(Sorafenib, Nexavar®) 치료를 하게 되는데, 임상에서의 생존 개선 정도가 기대 수준에 크게 못 미치고, 대부분 6개월 이내에 재발하여 이를 극복하기 위한 노력이 계속되고 있다(Llovet JM, Ricci S, Mazzaferro V, Hilgard P, Gane E, Blanc JF, de Oliveira AC, et al. Sorafenib in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. N Engl J Med 2008;359:378-390).In cases where there is extrahepatic metastasis to regional lymph nodes, lungs, etc., or liver vascular invasion, treatment is performed with Sorafenib (Nexavar ® ), a multi-kinase inhibitor, and the degree of improvement in survival in clinical trials is significantly less than expected. However, most cases relapse within 6 months, and efforts to overcome this are continuing (Llovet JM, Ricci S, Mazzaferro V, Hilgard P, Gane E, Blanc JF, de Oliveira AC, et al. Sorafenib in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. N Engl J Med 2008;359:378-390).
한편, 기존 항암제나 표적 치료제의 한계를 극복하고, 정상 세포와는 다른 암세포만의 특이적 대사 조절 연구를 통해 암의 대사적 특징을 타겟으로 하는 암대사 연구와 신약개발 연구가 이뤄지고 있다(Vander Heiden MG. Targeting cancer metabolism: a therapeutic window opens. Nat Rev Drug Discov 2011;10:671-684).Meanwhile, cancer metabolism research and new drug development research targeting the metabolic characteristics of cancer are being conducted by overcoming the limitations of existing anticancer drugs or targeted treatments and studying the specific metabolic control of cancer cells, which are different from normal cells (Vander Heiden MG. Targeting cancer metabolism: a therapeutic window opens. Nat Rev Drug Discov 2011;10:671-684).

It was measured using FACS. After treating drug-resistant cells with sorafenib (10 μM) and DN200434 compound (12 μM) for 24 hours, 10 μM H2-DCF-DA was added to the cells and incubated for 30 minutes. After washing with PBS, BD Accuri™ C6 flow cell Data were collected using an analyzer (BD Bioscience, USA) and analyzed using the Accuri™ C6 analysis program (BD Bioscience, USA).
